J'adore

infatuation [noun]: an intense but short-lived admiration for someone


I dream of you more times than I'm willing to admit --
as if dreaming you will somehow breathe you into existence.

Like, if I I imagine your face enough times it will carve itself out of time and space
And if I stare into your eyes long enough I can send you a little piece of my soul
     willing your heart to contract and pulse its first beat
     or your brown eyes to blink - even just once.

And maybe, just maybe,  if I keeping looking at you just a little bit longer

your lips will curve upward and you will smile at me.

Because I know you better than you know yourself.

You're a man after God's own heart so I've named you David;
and like Joseph you love selflessly; recognizing that trust covers a multitude of doubt.
Your strength is reflective of Moses - not in might but in your ability to lead under difficult circumstances.
And like Job, you are resilient - never wavering.

You stand up for what you believe in, like Daniel, and never let the pressures of this World dictate your praise.

But its your zeal to share the love of Christ with all you come in contact with that truly stands out about you;

Like Paul, you go wheresoever God leads you.
Humble beyond compare --
You are a comforter, a supporter 

and your ears never grow weary nor your shoulders ever slump.

Like Delilah to Sampson you are my weakness personified...
     which is why I can never allow you leave the confines of my mind.

I dream of you more times than I'm willing to admit --
because my heart knows that in reality you already exist

... if only I was brave enough to admit it.
